August
14, 1911 – Three-year-old Gladys Hertegun, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Ole Hertegun of Duluth, fell 25 feet from an attic window at home this
afternoon, miraculously escaping death.
The child fell onto a cement sidewalk. In falling, the force of the crash was probably broken when the girl struck the porch. She sustained a broken left leg and other less severe injuries.
The girl was playing with three other children in the attic. Her attention was attracted to the street and in looking out the window, she lost her balance.
